Can linear ball bearings be used for rotary motion?

Ordinary linear bearings are not suitable for rotational movement in structure, and if they are forcibly rotated, they may cause product damage.

If you need to do rotary motion occasions, you can choose ball bushings, or stroke linear bearings.

Under normal circumstances, linear bearings are mainly used for linear translation along an axial direction, and cannot be rotated. This is because the structural design of linear bearings is mainly to support and guide the movement of machined parts in the axial direction.

Another feature of linear bearings is that they can withstand a large amount of radial and axial loads, so in certain mechanical equipment, they will also be used as a supporting and positioning element for other structures.
